And I agree with what you've wriiten too. I think most people are guilty of acting and saying what's expected of them, but there does come a time when some realise that it's better to say or act as YOU feel and hang whatevers expected. Being true to yourself is important.
Right now I've bored you to tears, I'll go! Lol
Good write,

I have been fighting with myself on this for a really long time. I finally reached a point this year where I see it really doesn't matter what others think as long as I am happy with myself, and this poem kind of proves to myself that I am planing to show others who I really am. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate it.

I was always such a chameleon. It took me years to even figure out what I really believed because I took on the beliefs of those around me. I was afraid to say what I thought until I found out what others thought. What if they don't like me? What if they think I'm a loser? That is one of the things I gain from writing. I can look at something on paper or screen and see me. When other people see it and like it, that's cool. When I feel good about it, that's great! I guess this comment goes to this, and your other post. Keep putting yourself out there!

I always feared rejection from those around me, but I really don't want to have to worry about what people think about me anymore. That was the point of this poem.
Thanks for commenting John.
